    hello everyone, i'm new here i'm Ricardo

    Exactly, stay safe and healthy. Just play guitar and do home workouts for the time being. Only go out for supplies if you absolutely have to. When this is all over we will all be masters of the guitar 😝

    hello everyone, i'm new here i'm Ricardo

    Bemvindo! Welcome buddy! Honestly this is a really great resource for learning. My playing has definitely improved as a direct result of this website being created. One of the best things that came from this is learning the importance of playing along with a metronome. There are also many great...

    EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED, "Does anyone here use Cubase? I have setup my studio but I am having an issue, almost like a noise gate issue..."

    I finally figured out what was happening. IT WAS THE SPEAKER I WAS USING! Basically I was using a portable JBL speaker plugged in to the headphone jack of my audio interface. The reason I chose to do this is to save money/space on studio monitors as I live in a condo and don't need anything...

    Which guitarists inspired you to start playing guitar?

    Marty McFly... :p Lol I wanted to play guitar before I could even name one guitar player.

    Has anyone here completed/taken part in the A7X quarantine challenge on Instagram?

    Dude it was actually surprisingly challenging. I got the first two days by casually checking. Then after missing day 3, I literally set a timer every day for 28 minutes and I'd check whenever it went off :p

    Has anyone here completed/taken part in the A7X quarantine challenge on Instagram?

    I completed my seven days in a row yesterday, I missed day 3 so I had to start over on day 4. But I'm done now and I wanted to see how many of us have taken part? I think it is such a cool and generous act that the band did, while partnering with Warren Lotas. It was also a really fun and...

    Comment by 'Daniel Verde' in media 'The Heart of Life - John Mayer, Guitar Cover'

    Thanks bud! That button is a kill-switch. I installed it myself. It mutes the guitar signal. They are really fun to use, and you can get pretty creative with them. The best example of a killswitch is probably Buckethead(another one of my favourite guitar players).

    The Heart of Life - John Mayer, Guitar Cover

    This is my first recording using an audio interface and a DAW. I found it kind of challenging at first. But it is such a fun way to play/record. If anyone has questions I'll gladly share the knowledge I've gained so far.

    Oh nice, I still haven't downloaded it. I've been working on a project that I already recorded. But if reaper turns out to be a great program $60 is well worth it.

    EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED, "Does anyone here use Cubase? I have setup my studio but I am having an issue, almost like a noise gate issue..."

    Thanks for the answer. It definitely isn't that though. I spoke to someone on the phone yesterday and it looks like this might be a bug with the software. Or a hardware issue in which case I need a new audio interface. I'm going to try downloading reaper since supposably it is free. If I have...

    Am I overthinking this? is this ok?

    De nada. Sim amigo, eu sei como falar um pouco de português. No problem buddy. And yes I speak a little Portuguese. But I grew up in Canada so I only speak a little bit.

    Am I overthinking this? is this ok?

    It sounds good, one of the hardest things is finding the subtle nuances of playing guitar. Eventually you will develop your "feel" for the guitar. And I would say your bends become more accurate, and the transition from note to note becomes more natural. Also, it is a great thing that you are...

    EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED, "Does anyone here use Cubase? I have setup my studio but I am having an issue, almost like a noise gate issue..."

    So basically I got Cubase which came with a Steinberg UR22C Audio interface. I have setup my Cubase studio so that the sample size and buffer rate are exactly where I want them. There is no issue with latency when playing. IT SOUNDS AND RESPONDS GREAT! My issue is that when I stop playing guitar...

    Requesting a return from the Syngates store

    Oh thanks very much Jak! I haven’t been on here for a few days. I will keep an eye on my email and if I don’t hear from them I will email you 🙂

    Requesting a return from the Syngates store

    I’m embarassed to say, but I ordered something from the store(a hoodie) and I wasn’t really happy with it when it arrived. The store policy is that returns are accepted within 30 days. However you must request the form to return something. I emailed the store 3 times requesting a return form but...

    Bad Habit?

    I remember when I first started playing I came to the same realization. Do not worry about it too much at first. Just focus on having fun and make sure you keep playing. Progress will come and eventually you will have the attention to detail required for either playing legato or alternate...

    SG Blood Moon Hoodie

    That’s exactly it bud. I actually just placed my order for it, and I’m very excited. Hopefully I am happy with it when it gets here! For the record, if anyone involved with picking/shipping my order can see this my order number is ORDER #2297 and I would love it if I got one exactly like the...
